For Indie Speed Run 2012's fourth finalist, Santiago has chosen The Garbage Collector by Team Corgi Punk, a side-scrolling ship shooter with a twist. The game is composed of three areas, one red, one yellow, and one blue. The Collector must not only navigate the obstacles and enemies of his current color-coded path, but strategically choose when to hop onto a different track. With it's impressive visuals, and cool original music, The Garbage Collector stands out as a wonderful example of mixing classical gameplay with modern innovation.

"The Garbage Collector is one of those games that reminds you of that special zone in your brain that is only accessed by games," Santiago said. "You become one with the machine, just like in the story of our protagonist."

Much like some of Indie Speed Run's other finalists, Team Corgi Punk has released a short time-lapse video, showcasing the 48-hour development process behind their winning game. You can take a peek at that process below:
